Of course, this battle not only gained experience, but also exposed many problems. [.Com text] First of all, there are deficiencies in equipment, especially the lack of quick-drying cement. As a result, some fortification groups are being destroyed by cement.
After being blocked, the equipment was resurrected because it could not be dried for a long time. In addition, the quantity of equipment was limited in use due to insufficient raw materials.
For example, the flamethrower, which is the most lethal to the Japanese army's permanent fortification groups, the arsenal has tried its best to equip only one company because of insufficient steel for making cylinders. This problem also occurs with fuel-air bombs. The imported raw materials are due to
Due to limitations of economic conditions and process problems, it is far from being able to meet needs.
Similar problems have arisen when dealing with the most destructive Wandashan-type bombs in the Japanese army's permanently prepared fortifications. Although the construction of the synthetic ammonia production line has been completed, because it is still in trial operation, the output of explosives cannot meet the demand.
It requires a large amount of imports. And the production of high explosives is not proportional to what is needed.
Under the circumstances that Jiangbei's production of high explosives is also limited and exports are strictly controlled, the arsenal is trying its best to produce fifteen bombs. As for the delay fuses used in these super bombs, they cannot produce them themselves yet.
All imports were negotiated privately through the Soviet Far East Military Region. This was almost difficult for Yang Zhen to accept.
In addition, there are still some shortcomings in the use of tactics. When launching an attack, the charging infantry and the covering chemical defense company are disconnected from each other due to unfamiliar cooperation. Often the flamethrower has already opened an attack route for them.
However, the infantry failed to keep up in time, causing the attack route to be resurrected and the Japanese firepower blocked again.
In addition, when the troops attacked various permanent fortifications of the Japanese army, in addition to being relatively skilled in the use of rocket launchers and light and heavy machine guns, they were still relatively unfamiliar with the use of anti-aircraft machine guns, which were very suitable for suppressing their shooting holes. Among the anti-aircraft machine guns that were strengthened before the war, except for Wu Ruofu
Except for the unit that has used it, the rest of the troops have basically not used this machine gun's characteristics of long range, strong penetration, and high power.
Facing the fire blockade constructed by the Japanese army's deep and long-range artillery fire, some companies lacked courage and determination. The slow speed of reinforcements resulted in the delay in forming superior forces in the battle on the ridge. In addition, the use of mortars to attack the Japanese anti-slope
There were also many tactical mistakes during the battle.
What dissatisfied Yang Zhen the most was that he allocated a 105 cannon battalion to Du Kaishan and the only 200 rounds of artillery-fired air-fuel shells used by the entire army. From the beginning of the battle, he watched from behind.
Knowing that the frontline battle at Honey Mountain was all over, not a single shot was fired.
The first reason was that due to the slow movement of these heavy artillery, when they arrived, the battle had already begun and they did not dare to use it easily. By the time Du Kaishan wanted to use it later, the two armies had already entered a stalemate on the ridge, and the roundabout troops had already penetrated deep into the Japanese army.
Even if you want to use it, you can't use it. A long-range cannon battalion with powerful new artillery shells is just idle.
Thinking that he would have to face the more fortified Japanese fortresses of Hulin, Dongning, Hunchun, Heihe, etc. in the future, Yang Zhen honestly could not say that he was too impressed with the performance of Du Kaishan's command today, including Du Kaishan's command.
Satisfied. In his words, it can only be described as unsatisfactory.
Although Yang Zhen was not too satisfied with the performance of the entire Honey Mountain offensive, the capture of the entire Honey Mountain area not only cut off the entire so-called Northeast Manchurian fortress group, but also achieved victory over the Japanese fortress group.
Experience. It also isolated the Japanese Tiger Head Fortress Group and the Eighth Border Guard Group located in Hulin in the north. At the same time, it cut off the connection between the 12th Division stationed in the Suiyang area and the Baoqing battlefield where the fierce fighting was taking place at this time.
Regardless of whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied with the performance of the Honey Mountain fortress group, the Japanese fortress group from Honey Mountain to Miaoling has undoubtedly achieved considerable strategic flexibility. There is no need to divide the troops and guard Hulin to half
The border garrison in the entire Japanese fortress group in the river area.
Just taking down the Japanese fortress group at Honey Mountain is only the first step in the overall attack plan. The Japanese fortress group at Honey Mountain is one of a large number of fortress groups and border fortification areas built throughout Northeast Manchuria starting from Hunchun in the south and ending in Raohe in the north.
The smallest one. There are only three real permanent fortifications, which are much smaller in scale than the Hutou Fortress in the north or the Dongning Fortress in the south.
Because of the natural barrier of Xingkai Lake, the scale of the fortress group from Miaoling to Honey Mountain is much smaller than that of the similar Banjiehe fortress group, which is to say the frontal border position in Pingyang. Although the equipment and military strength are
, compared with the nearest Banjiehe fortress group, it is not bad. However, the number of permanent fortification groups is quite different.
The success achieved in the battle against the Japanese fortresses in the Bee Mountain to Miaoling area was only the first step in the long march. It can only be said to have gained combat experience against the Japanese fortresses. For Yang Zhen's troops, the Tiger Head Fortress in the north
The highlight is the Dongning Fortress Group and the Dongning Fortress Group in the south.
Only by capturing these two fortress groups can the so-called fortress groups of the Japanese army in the Northeast Manchuria be truly destroyed. However, in any case, the Japanese fortress group from Honey Mountain to Miaoling area can be successfully captured this time.
It's the first kick.
Just when Yang Zhen was assessing the gains and losses of this critical battle and what experience it would bring to similar operations in the future, after taking the 458th Highland, Qin Zesheng had already led his troops to attack the Japanese defenses on the front line of Miaoling. After all, the air raid was
The real results still need to be seen to be believed.
Qin Zesheng, who encountered almost no Japanese resistance except for a handful of stragglers along the way, arrived at Miaoling and saw the Japanese army at the real core of the Honey Mountain front-line fortress. Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes almost disappeared.
fell to the ground.
When they entered the interior of the fortress, where almost all the cover at the entrances had been overturned, both Qin Zesheng and his subordinates felt a sense of horror when faced with the scene in front of them.
The dense vegetation on the front of the entire Miaoling Mountain had been burned to ashes. When Qin Zesheng arrived, many trees were still burning. Even the trees on the adjacent mountains that were not affected by the fire were also burned by the explosion.
The shock wave shook her to and fro, and almost no one could stand.
A Japanese munitions warehouse behind the mountain was directly hit by a ton-level bomb. The entire munitions warehouse was blown up, leaving only a big hole on the ground. Japanese military uniforms and various military supplies were blown up everywhere.
The surrounding trees were hung with parts from the bombed-out Japanese soldiers guarding the warehouse.
When the command troops carefully entered the mountain to search for fear that there were still Japanese soldiers alive inside, Qin Zesheng realized that there was no need to worry. Everything inside was burned, including most of the Japanese soldiers.
They were reduced to coke or simply evaporated. The few Japanese soldiers on the upper floors of the fortifications who were not burned to ashes because of their elevated location were all suffocated to death due to suffocation and lack of oxygen.
Compared with the Japanese soldiers who also died of hypoxia and suffocation in the heavy artillery fortifications on the top of the mountain, the strange thing is that the heavy artillery and their bunkers on the top of the mountain were almost unscathed. Six 150 mm heavy howitzers and six
The 150mm heavy cannon was placed intact on the gun emplacement.
Be careful not to fall into the large pit on the ground floor that was blown up by a bomb with a radius of tens of meters and a depth of nearly ten meters. Except for him and his men, there was no one alive in the temple.
The Japanese military fortification group had nothing to worry about.
After carefully surveying the entire fortress group that had lost all life, when Qin Zesheng commanded his troops to pry open the only closed iron gate near the back of the mountain near the fortress, everyone almost vomited when they saw the scene inside.
There is no way, no one would see dozens of people who looked like they were cooked alive. Even the flesh on their bodies was boiled off, leaving only a skeleton, and the military uniforms on their bodies were almost intact.
It is a scene that is difficult to see in a lifetime without feeling disgusted.
This timely closed iron gate was the largest internal ammunition depot in the Japanese Miaoling fortress group. When the first bomb penetrated the top of the fortress and fell, the soldiers here promptly closed the thick protective iron gate.
After an unexplained violent burning occurred inside the fortress, water was quickly injected into the ammunition depot, which promptly stopped the ammunition from exploding.
This is also the reason why the Miaoling Fortress was not completely blown up like the Japanese fortresses at Camel Peak after being hit by a ton bomb and two air-fuel bombs. But the Japanese army at the ammunition depot did not expect that they closed the iron gate.
and filled the ammunition magazine with water.
These Japanese soldiers who moved very quickly did not expect that the water injected into the ammunition depot would turn the entire sealed ammunition depot into an extra-large pot. The thousands of degrees of high temperature generated at the moment when the two air-burning bombs exploded, even the rocks
It was also melted by the fire. How could a mere iron door withstand it?
Even if it is filled with water, the iron door is thickened and filled with lead. The high temperature cannot burn the iron door for a while. However, it does not prevent the high temperature outside the door from passing through the rocks and the iron door as conductors and burning the water in the ammunition depot.
It was opened. The Japanese soldiers inside could not escape or run away. They were all boiled alive in the ammunition depot.
Smelling the strong smell of meat coming from the ammunition depot after people were boiled, everyone from Qin Zesheng to the ordinary soldiers who entered the fortress could not help but feel strong in their hearts.
Vomiting profusely. After vomiting all the food in their stomachs together with the acidic water, no one dared to stay inside any longer. They collectively turned around and ran out of this Japanese fortress that had become a ghost.
Before he could vomit like his subordinates and barely drank a sip of water to suppress the nausea that was still churning in his heart from time to time and regain some energy, a correspondent ran over and handed him the newspaper in his hand and said: "Regiment
Commander, the commander has forwarded Order No. 1. Let us immediately go south, advance in the direction of the two-person squad, and cooperate with the troops commanded by the Sui Chief of Staff to launch an attack on the Japanese Banjiehe fortress group. Commander Du will be here soon."
